Nausea

My dance training has come into good use on Joe's new boat.
To keep from getting dizzy on turns, dancers use focus and a quick head flip so the inner ear doesn't experience any change.
On the hunt for striped bass, we went out for a beautiful calm evening. To keep my head on level, I worked my knees as the boat rocked in the gentle waves. The moon came up the color and shape of an egg yolk. I was fine until I looked for constellations. Bending my head back changed the fluid in my inner ears, and I started to feel dizzy.
The next day, my inner ear was still sensitive, and I couldn't practice turns.
